Today our Primary summer camp students went to Kehler's Gym. They had lots of exciting and challenging things to do in the Fun Factory. This obstacle course has slides to swoosh down, bridges to quickly cross, a ball pit to swim through, and a zip line to float through the air. The campers enthusiastically took part in all of the fun activities. Everyone had a great time!
Welcome to summer camp 2014 Art is Everywhere! We are so excited about this year's camp theme. Our campers will be exploring the amazing world of art. They will learn that art can be found everywhere, not just in the studio. They will discover the artistic beauty of nature at the Tyler Arboretum and its gardens, and be mesmerized by live art on the Upper Darby Summer Stage. They will see art from around the world, and art in the kitchen. The creative beauty of art will come to life from the "beach" to the Art Museum. Plenty of new and exciting experiences a wait our campers this summer. Get your paint brush and easel ready!
Today's week was about finding the inner artist and having fun creating art with unusual materials. The children had fun using non-traditional materials to create masterpieces of art. It's truly amazing how string and play dough can be transformed! The primary children also had a great time watching the adventures of Frog and Toad at the Upper Darby Summer Stage. They saw the play "A Year with Frog and Toad". It was lots of fun seeing the book series come to life. With the weather being so beautiful this week, how could students and teachers resist having lunch outside and soaking up some sun. Another great week at Camp Imagination 2013! The students at Camp Imagination 2013 are all about helping to save our planet earth and make our world a beautiful place! This week they showed us how by creating masterpieces from recycled materials. They also used materials from nature to create original art sculptures. To top the week off, we had a visit from the Philadelphia "Zoo On Wheels"! The children had lots of fun learning about the various animals, being able to pet them and find out where they live. What a great week! Wow! Week 5 is already here. The summer is flying by. This week was all about music from around the world. The children made "rainsticks". This instrument comes from the Chilean tribes in South America. They had a wonderful time making the musical sound of rain in their "rainstick" band. Each child then painted their renditions of famous classic paintings to the sounds of classical selections from around the world. A wonderful trip was made to the Delco Gym and the week was finished off with a rousing game of musical chairs. Another great week at Camp Imagination 2013! Week 4 was all about puppets and plays! This weeks journey through the world of imagination looked at plays and the exciting world that plays can create. The children made their own unique sock puppets and put on the fantastic play, "The Hungry Caterpillar". Broadway watch out! Today's field trip was to the Citizen's Bank Park! We had so much fun. Our Phillies' tour guide showed us lots of great places in the building. We visited the locker rooms, dug-out, press box, and many other places in the ball park. It was a great trip! Books! Books! And more books! This week is all about books and the wonderful imaginary places they can take us. The children brought in their favorite books to share with friends, and made special book markers to use in their books. They also used their imaginations to write their own stories to share with family and friends. Sprinkler Day! What better way to stay cool in the hot weather then to get sprayed with cool refreshing water. The children had lots of fun moving and playing in the sprinklers. What a great way to enjoy a hot summer day! Week 2 is Patriotic Fun Week. The students are proudly flying their red, white, and blue flags and creating their stylish patriotic hats to wear on July 4th! It's 4th of July time and we are celebrating America's birthday.
